Yes, removing that solves the problems and does not cause any others. 
Since this application is a "compiler", --build and --host are enough. I 
was following the example of the existing Makefile fragments in the 
buildroot, but they were unnecessarily specifying --target.

I removed all three AC_CANONICAL_* macro calls before removing --target, 
but this did not seem to change anything. Going back to the 
as-distributed configure script and not specifying --target has worked fine.

Thanks for the help Alexandre.
